How do I start my water service?

Written by Jay Sellers on August 23, 2023.

In order to establish your service, you will need to apply in person at our office at 1703 Gloucester Street in Brunswick or by using our online form. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that we verify your identity with a government issued photo ID and proof of residency. Also, the JWSC is required to validate your Social Security Number at the time of application.

A deposit of $100 per REU and a $55 connection fee are due with your application. REU stands for “Residential Equivalency Unit,” a number that is based on monthly water and sewer usage for a typical residence. In general, single-family households are assigned a REU of 1; commercial and industrial customers generally have higher REU numbers.
